III-Objectives of the course: Managers make decisions about
acquiring and using economic resources and need
information to help them make those decisions. Managerial/Cost
accounting deals with much
of that information as well as with some of the techniques
managers use in performing their
jobs. No reasonably concise definition of cost and managerial
accounting captures all of its
aspects. The subject is constantly changing to adapt to
technological innovations, changes in
manager's needs, and new approaches to other functional areas of
business: marketing
production, finance, organizational behavior, and
management.
Managerial/Cost accounting is an indispensable part of the
system that provides information
to managers-the people whose decisions and actions determine the
success or failure of an
organization. While cost accounting is used extensively in the
manufacturing sector, it is
recognized as equally valuable for the services sector. This
course is designed to develop an
understanding of cost and managerial accounting concepts and
applications.
IV-Learning Goals:
The addition to the specific objectives of the course, the
material and activities have been
selected to aid and support students in their progress towards

recommendation for suspension or dismissal, the Academic
Integrity Committee will meet
promptly to investigate, and submit a recommendation to the
